I agree. I remember when this project was first announced it was announced at the same time as the Park/Market development that will have the UCSD satellite campus and the Ritz was supposed to be ahead of that one. Now the Park/Market is under construction and crickets chirping at the ugly surface lot where the Ritz is planned.
Maybe because it’s city owned land it is subject to more lawsuits?
I wish there was a better way to track the legal process, like some website or something where we know the court dates and outcomes.
What I can piece together from the scant information online is this:
Oct 2017:

UT reported the developer won the lawsuit but that it could be appealed
Today, March 7th 2018:

This article has to do with another hotel project, but it mentions this:
“In downtown alone, there are hotels accounting for more than 2,500 rooms in the planning stage, including a Ritz Carlton that has been approved but is being held up because of ongoing litigation.”
So I’m guessing they (the union groups or whoever) did appeal the lawsuit they lost in October? Does anyone have any info on when the appeal will be heard, if that’s the case?
